This project is part of Craft Lightning week. Since Halloween is coming up, I’ve partnered with my friends Angie from The Country Chic Cottage and Jen from 100 Directions to share fast and fun 15-minute-or-less Halloween crafts made with the Cricut machine all week long! And we’ve invited nearly 40 of our favorite crafty friends from across the internet to join in. Make sure you scroll down to see what creative Halloween projects they’ve whipped up on their Cricut machines!

Place the felt on the mat. If you have the Maker, you probably have the pink mat it came with. I’m using the green mat here, either will work fine. Follow the prompts in Design Space to cut the shape.

Remove the excess felt from the mat. Set it aside so you can save it for another project.

Put a line of hot glue down the center of one of the antenna pieces.

Being careful not to burn your fingers, put a pipe cleaner in place over the glue. Then add more glue around the pipe cleaner.

Carefully place the second piece on top. Try to line up the edges.

If your edges aren’t perfect, or hot glue leaks out the sides, don’t worry. Use your scissors to trim away any stray glue, and any edges that don’t line up.

Repeat for the second antenna. Grab your headband, and line up your antenna. My instinct was to put them far apart, but in the Cricut logo they are fairly close together – so I think closer looks better. You can make yours however you like.

Wrap the pipe cleaner tightly around the headband to secure the antenna in place.

Repeat for the other side, and your Cricut Antenna Headband is complete!

Wear yours to a crop, to a fun craft night with your friends, or just to amuse yourself while crafting! Though these Cricut Antenna make a fun costume, you can wear them year-round, not just on Halloween! You can make extra pairs for friends to wear. While I whipped mine up in the more traditional green color – you can make yours any color you like!
